Canelo Alvarez vs. Caleb Plant reportedly is back on.
The super middleweight titleholders, who broke off negotiations for a tentative Sept. 18 fight, have agreed to meet on pay-per-view in November, ESPN, citing sources, is reporting.
No specific date or site was mentioned. The fight will be promoted by Premier Boxing Champions — a first for Alvarez — and Canelo Promotions.
Alvarez holds three of the four major 168-pound titles and Plant has one, meaning the winner will be the undisputed champion. That obviously was a motivating factor for the Mexican star, who has stated his desire to unify the titles.
Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 KOs) opened talks with light heavyweight beltholder Dmitry Bivol after negotiations with Plant broke down but, when no immediate deal could be reached, he pushed back his next fight to November and re-focused on Plant.
Alvarez is coming off an eighth-round knockout of Billy Joe Saunders in May, which added one title to his growing collection.
Plant (21-0, 12 KOs) last fought in January, when he defeated Caleb Truax by a shutout decision.
